Lets just say that the Steelers entertain this idea. Why would they undervalue Ben so much and only ask for 1 first round pick? If a player that has done absolutely nothing in the NFL is worth a first then Ben has to be worth 2 first round picks and a player right now from whatever team wants to make the trade.

Interesting, now lets change the question Pap. Steelers get a phone call from a team interested in Ben. At what point do you start to think about it?

No... Ben is on the downside of his career... teams probably won't offer more than a second due to his age.

Objectively, Ben has a couple years max, at a "franchise" level. This is his TENTH year; I don't imagine a player with his style and mileage playing for 15 years (e.g. Peyton Manning). So if you could swing a deal where were you can get his replacement, you gotta look at it HARD.

Of course, the problem is objectivity. It is hard to, when you have a player of Ben's status and history with the team.

First, Clowney would likely be a OLB in our base defense. He would be huge, but he is far more athletic than Woodley and runs pretty well. Clowney has a chance to be our most dominant and dynamic playmaker since Rod Woodson.

Second, I like Bridgewater. But, unless we trade Ben (not my first choice), I can't see that happening.

Even if Bill Belichick was getting an atomic wedgie, his face would look exactly the same.

based on? ESPN has shown that Michigan play so much people believe he does it every game. He hasn't shown much this year..
